I'm with you, op. The option is you wrap it up good and take it to the nearest bin. Flushing is never an option. This is from a landlord who had to pay ridiculous sums to replace part of the sewer line jacked up by sanitary napkins(not even tampons!).

I absolutely didn’t know you weren’t meant to flush tampons?!? I assumed as they are made from cotton wool and paper type that it would break down. I know wet wipes don’t but have been educated in tampon disposal!!

Yes, no option. What if there is no bin, and you have no bagSo you're somewhere there is no bin but you can remove your tampon. You can also presumably replace it? Do you flush the wrapper down the loo too? Where were you crying your new tampon? Webster is this place that you're changing it?

Very possible. I flushed tampons for YEARS until a MN thread a few years ago said not to. I wasn't selfish, ignorant or whatever could be suggested. When I started using tampons in the 90s it said on the leaflet that they were flushable. So I did. As did everyone I knew.

Funnily enough after a couple of months of using tampons I didn't read the leaflets anymore because I didn't need the instructions! So it passed me by when the information changed.

YANBU. I had to pay £££ to have our drains flushed out - they were blocked with antibacterial wipes - not ours as we don't even buy the wretched things. Unfortunately, the waste water was belching up through the manhole in our garden, rather than the garden of whatever idiot flushed them .
